Content
In this course, we will approach migration issues from a gender perspective/gender issues from a migration perspective. To this end, the course will be structured as follows:
- The first part will serve as an introduction to the central concepts involved in a gender perspective (from a theoretical, epistemological and critical point of view). We will understand what it implies, in terms of knowledge production and analysis of societal facts related to migration, to apply a gendered analysis approach. And we will study how the various theories on migration interact (or not) with these concepts.
- The second part will address more specific themes related to migration through a gender lens. Among these themes, we will look at the impact of colonization/decolonization and globalization; the transnational turn; the question of care and sexuality (LGBTQ+ migrants); the intersectional perspective; or the question of resistance/activist practice in a migratory context.
